hayfever

[CKmum]

Hi
Does anybody know if there is anything I can take for my hayfever? I'm still breatfeeding my 9mth old ds.

I have been told by my doctor that Rhinocort is okay when pregnant and breastfeeding, but my cautious answer would be to ask the pharmacist - they will soon tell you what is an "A" drug or herbal supplement - which means that it has been tested for long enough for them to be able to say that there are no side effects.

[Can I?]

If you prefer something natural Brauer make a herbal hayfever spray which you just spray under your tongue whenever you need it. It works really well for me, so would be worth a try. No drowsy side effects and works really quickly.

I have been using polaramine, the low dose tablet only. The doctor said that there is a minute amount that makes it into the milk and that the worst it would do to bubs is make them a bit sleepy.

I HATE HAYFEVER :p
